CSM Proxy Server - Cache Array Routing Protocol
Overview CSM Proxy Plus uses the Cache Array Routing Protocol (CARP) to provide seamless scaling and extreme efficiency when using multiple proxy servers arrayed as a single logical cache. CARP uses hash-based routing to provide a deterministic "request resolution path" through an array of proxies. The request resolution path, based upon a hashing of proxy array member identities and uniform resource locators (URLs), means that for any given URL request, the browser or downstream proxy server will know exactly where in the proxy array the information will be stored - whether already cached from a previous request, or making a first Internet hit for delivery and caching.
